My mechanic is going to put it on a lift, do all the heavy stuff and let me work and participate at his business as I am able then give me a final cost for the job. For me that's like a dream come true, lastly, need tips on making device to hold engine in place of Porsche special tool, thanks to all that tried to help, my car has a broken left bank tensioner for sure.

What is the source for this engine? the IMSB ? The metal loop by the throttle body can support that end of the engine as long as the front engine mount is supporting the front. when the engine is loose & ready to be lowered & removed the weight of the engine can be supported at the oilpan with some cushion to prevent damaging oil sump plate.
